The rule does not contemplate attendance as a factor. Rather, it specifically uses the term "registered," aka enrolled. I think the simple answer is that he never enrolled at MS or Hutchison. If he did enroll, then may be a waiver was granted.
Here is the exact verbiage...
14.2.1 Five-Year Rule. A student-athlete shall complete his or her seasons of participation within five calendar years from the beginning of the semester or quarter in which the student-athlete first registered for a minimum full-time program of studies in a collegiate institution, with time spent in the armed services, on official religious missions or with recognized foreign aid services of the U.S. government being excepted. For international students, service in the armed forces or on an official religious mission of the student's home country is considered equivalent to such service in the United States.
